Advancement In Maritime Sustainability Through Ethanol

In a collaborative effort for sustainability, Raízen and Wärtsilä seal a partnership focused on reducing emissions in the maritime sector. Both companies aim to explore ethanol, a renewable fuel, as a promising alternative to minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the global maritime landscape.

Ethanol: Fuel Of The Maritime Future?

Paulo Neves, Vice President of Trading at Raízen, sees ethanol as a high-potential maritime fuel. “By joining forces with Wärtsilä, our goal is to strengthen the sustainable development of the maritime sector. Ethanol stands out as a viable option in the range of low-carbon solutions,” he emphasizes.

In the context of decarbonization, Wärtsilä has distinguished itself with significant milestones. These include improvements in engine efficiency and, primarily, tests with ethanol as a primary fuel. This initiative, in partnership with Raízen, aims to accelerate the incorporation of clean energy solutions in the maritime world.

Environmental Impact And Advantages Of Ethanol

Replacing fossil fuels with sustainable ethanol can revolutionize maritime transport. Initial studies by Raízen indicate that the use of ethanol could result in a reduction of up to 80% in CO2 emissions on common routes, such as Brazil-Europe. With targets set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) aiming for significant emission cuts by 2050, ethanol emerges as a powerful ally in this challenge.

Raízen, maintaining its tradition of innovation, emphasizes its commitment to providing low-carbon solutions broadly. The company, together with Wärtsilä, actively seeks strategic partnerships in the maritime sector that share the vision of cleaner and more sustainable navigation for future generations.

Dissatisfied with seeing people sleeping on the street, a man named Ryan Donais started building small mobile homes so that homeless people can escape the cold, each equipped with a bed, running water, electricity, and heating.

Workers were opening a modern road in Dover when they found, 6 meters below the asphalt, a 3,500-year-old boat made of stitched oak and plant fibers.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

Two 17-year-old Kenyans use coconut shells, corn cobs, and recycled materials to create an exhaust filter that reduces 93.3% of pollutant particles and wins an environmental award in Africa.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

Researchers were analyzing a shipwreck in the depths of the Pacific when the US Navy confirmed that it was the submarine lost since 1944 with 83 crew members from World War II.

Brazil may fall behind, and irreversibly so, in the global technological race involving the implementation of Data Centers and investments in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Much smaller but more agile economies, such as those of Argentina and Paraguay, have taken the lead.

Brazil is generating so much clean energy that the ONS had to implement an unprecedented emergency plan to contain the solar and wind surplus in the grid.

Swedes manage to create synthetic fuel with CO₂, water, and renewable energy, compatible with current engines, but face a huge problem: the energy expenditure is still double the return.
